Once upon a time
I held your hand in mine
Forever we would be
Eternally happy

The end came suddenly
And then you set me free
Fate drenched me in sorrow
And cast me into shadow

Happily ever after?
Is that how the fairy tale went?
Happily ever after?
Is this what they really meant?

You were my Prince charming
Why were you so alarming?
Suposed to be my hero
Turned out to be a zero

Where did the magic go?
Where is it, do you know?
Faries turned into goblins
their wings turned into fins

Happily ever after?
Is that how the fairy tale went?
Happily ever after?
Is this what they really meant?

Godmother please help me
What did I turn out to be?
Build me wings so I can fly
and send me to the sky!

I wonder how many women have gone home and told their roommates, "Supposed to be my hero, turned out to be a zero"? I could write a song just around that one line alone. Nice job, TIH. Hardrock
